LGB eSports won E-sport-bets.com's third anniversary cup following a 16-11 victory over Virtus.pro in the final.

Eight top teams from all over Europe battled it out in this three-day online cup, organised by E-sport-bet.com, which was celebrating its third anniversary, for bragging rights and also the top prize of $1,500.

The group stage, which used the GSL system, came to an end on Saturday, with LGB and Virtus.pro topping their respective groups, thus automatically booking places in the semi-finals.

In the quarter-finals, Reason beat mousesports 16-10, while HellRaisers emerged victorious from their clash with Ukrainian rivals Na´Vi following a 16-11 victory. Both semi-final matches were pretty much a one-way street, with LGB and Virtus.pro easing past Reason and HR, respectively, with 16-7 scorelines.
